A Synthetic Factor XIIa Inhibitor Blocks Selectively Intrinsic Coagulation Initiation

Christian Heinis, Shiyu Chen, Alessandro Zorzi, Vanessa Baeriswyl, Luca Bologna

Coagulation factor XII (FXII) inhibitors are of interest for the study of the protease in the intrinsic coagulation pathway, for the suppression of contact activation in blood coagulation assays, and they have potential application in antithrombotic therap ...

Dithiol amino acids can structurally shape and enhance the ligand-binding properties of polypeptides

Christian Heinis, Rudolf Hovius, Florence Pojer, Shiyu Chen, Ranganath Gopalakrishnan

The disulfide bonds that form between two cysteine residues are important in defining and rigidifying the structures of proteins and peptides. In polypeptides containing multiple cysteine residues, disulfide isomerization can lead to multiple products with ...

Phage Selection of Photoswitchable Peptide Ligands

Christian Heinis, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Shiyu Chen, Silvia Bellotto, Hermann A. Wegner

Photoswitchable ligands are powerful tools to control biological processes at high spatial and temporal resolution. Unfortunately, such ligands exist only for a limited number of proteins and their development by rational design is not trivial. We have dev ...

Bicyclic peptide ligands pulled out of cysteine-rich peptide libraries

Christian Heinis, Petr Leiman, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Shiyu Chen, Jeremy Touati, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Bicyclic peptide ligands were found to have good binding affinity and target specificity. However, the method applied to generate bicyclic ligands based on phage-peptide alkylation is technically complex and limits its application to specialized laboratori ...

Development of New Bicyclic Peptide Formats and their Application in Directed Evolution

Shiyu Chen

Cyclic peptides have a range of properties that make them attractive as therapeutics such as high binding affinity, good target selectivity and low toxicity. While most peptides in the clinic are derived from nature, various powerful in vitro evolution tec ...

Structurally Diverse Cyclisation Linkers Impose Different Backbone Conformations in Bicyclic Peptides

Christian Heinis, Alessandro Angelini, Shiyu Chen, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Combinatorial libraries of structurally diverse peptide macrocycles offer a rich source for the development of high-affinity ligands to targets of interest. In this work we have developed linkers for the generation of genetically encoded bicyclic peptides ...
